Verse
G           D                   Em
I went down to the desert to where the cactus grow
Bm                                Em
I went up to the medicine man and said: “He whaddya know?”
G            D               Em
He just shuffled his feet and looked down at the ground
Bm                                 Em
Then said, “Son, love’s the only magic, that’s still left around”.

We used to talk to the animals

But now we don’t hear there sound

And the East breeze carries secrets

That will never be found

So I went up to the mountains, to the cold and the snow
Bm                  Em
I found an old Guru and said: “He whaddya know?”
G           D             Em
He giggled and stared at the peaks so far away
Bm                               Em
He said, “Friend, love’s the only magic we have left today.”

We used to leave our bodies here

I went to a distant island right next to Boreo
Bm                             Em
I found the oldest witch doctor and said: “He whaddya know?”
G           D         Em
His weary brown eyes held traces of fear
Bm                                 Em
He said, “Sir, love is the only magic that’s still living here.”

Bridge
Bm
In dreamtime days we’d wake up

As a tree or as a deer
G
Our warriors were ghosts and spirits
C
And the rivers all ran clear

So I went to the cathedral, were praying people go
Bm                            Em
I found a tired old preacher and said: “He whaddya know?”
G           D            Em
He said now listen carefully to what I have to say
Bm                             Em
“Love’s the only magic, that’s really here to stay.”

To get on your knees and pray
